    Out of this draft class, who do you predict to bust in the NFL?

    I'll start it off...

    If he's drafted by Cincinatti - Carson Palmer

    Jimmy Kennedy

    Taylor Jacobs (easy one to call)

    Larry Johnson

    If he remains at tackle - Jordan Gross (see Collins, Mo)
    (I see a switch to guard for him, as I believe he is too undersized for the tackle position)


    Let the debates rage on...

    That didn't make any sense to me either Sly. If a guy's not big or strong enough for tackle, he doesn't go to guard, which is where size is required, not a luxury.

    Mo Collins does not lack size. He's very big. They already had a Right Tackle though in Kennedy.

    Mo Collins came into the league as a tackle, struggled, moved to guard where he had success. And at guard it isn't neccessarily size as any good coach will tell you, it's leverage. Size helps with that aspect, but good lower body strength can compensate for small deficits in size. The guy is not a shrimp, but I wonder how many legit tackles have been selected in the first 10 picks in the draft that were from a small school and weighed in at less than 310 pounds?

    A lot more than the number of guards that weigh in at less than 310. My guess is Collins was hampered by mobility not size or strength. Guards are generally larger and less mobile than Tackles.
